[There's this detective, right? And he's got a bit of a nosy streak about him. BUT HEY, it's not his fault. Sora asked for his help and by golly, he would give him his ( Read more... )

His hunch was right.
Someone was snooping. This was unacceptable. After all, the events of that night had been concealed in those that were present. A new person poking around may have to be silenced. The doctor comes close enough to observe Shoutarou but far enough that he wasn't so easily detected. ]

Sora said something happened here. Obviously something happened here but... his memories.
[And then batshot returns and he begins looking through the photos on it, eyes widening.]
Ahh... that's a lot of damage. Hm, I hear there's a gardener in the area, maybe I should talk to them. Though... the residents aren't very good at answering questions.
Ahhhh, this is ridiculous. It's so much easier to do this back home.
[Rubbing at his face, he digs through his coat to pull out his phone. The one that immediately connects him to Philip at all times. Pressing the button to connect, he lifts it to his ear and waits for an answer.]

The tip of the scalpel presses slightly against Shoutarou's back. Muraki leans in, speaking in low quiet tones. ]
Curiosity killed the cat, dear boy...
I'm certain you've heard of that saying.

[The phone drops as he's startled but he quickly regains composure. Despite that 90% of the time he was a halfboiled derp, there was a 10% where he actual could be some sort of a badass. So instead of freaking out and flailing, he gives a hum of thought.]
I don't know your voice but you're obviously a foreigner just like me. The other doctor here -- Alpha, he wouldn't cause this must damage to his own city. You're Japanese too, I hear it in your voice. Your weapon is also not very big, a knife, perhaps? Knives don't do much damage usually -- but if you stab me, I risk the chance of spinal damage if you stab in the right direction.
Of course though, I could always run. I'm younger than you, and probably faster considering how much physical work I do daily but, still. It's all a chance.
[And all that speaking he does is just to stall time to slowly pull out his driver without being noticed. If he could just attach it to his waist, his mind will link up with Philip's and Philip will know where he is ( ... )

Oh, he noticed that hand movement, saw that hand busy grasping for something. All that talk was a distraction? Clever. The scalpel presses a little closer against Shoutarou's back as he reaches for that busy hand, grasping it tight by the wrist. Somehow, having a Punchhopper as a bodyguard seemed like more of a bonus now. ]
I believe you'll find escape will be nigh impossible.
[ His hand tightens, a thumb pressing into his wrist to cause him to drop whatever he was holding. ]
We can't have that, now can we...?

He noticed, he grabbed his wrist-- his driver. His driver! What was he going to do-- but... he could fight without the driver, couldn't he? All he needed to do was get the guy to back off just a little bit and he could pick up the driver and put it on. Just... just a punch to the face! But, could he risk it? He bites his lip and glances down at the phone. He hasn't heard Philip's voice yet so he must have not answered yet. Just... two seconds, two more seconds and his partner could answer and well... Shoutarou might get cut but Philip could come and give him his driver and Terui could be his stupid Accel self and and and--]
Surely you should introduce yourself first.

[ The doctor sensed the panic and allowed himself a very small smile. He'd gotten the boy on edge. Perhaps now he'd know better than to stick his nose in other people's business. But now wasn't a time to be cocky. There were things to do, matters to deal with and a reputation to keep.
He glances sidewards at both phone and Driver. Both dangerous things to be had. But if he'd made a phonecall, surely there were more who knew about this matter.
Better to keep the boy secure. Muraki kept his grip on the boy's wrist as he lowered the scalpel and used his other hand to call up a smaller circle beneath the Driver. Curious thing. It brought to mind Kageyama's zecter and the last thing the doctor needed was for this kid's abilities to be enhanced. Avoid a fight when necessary. A spark of energy springs up from the circle, dark lightning crackling in its wake as it crashes over the Driver with a satisfactory metallic crunch. ]Now that's been taken care ( ... )

Double shit.
His drive. His poor precious driver! Could he even repair it here -- in Vatheon? Would Philip be able to-- Well wait, of course he would, he's Philip but... still. His driver!
He makes a disgruntled grunt as the driver was smashed and the phone-- please please please, Philip, pick up--]
... I wonder if I should take a leaf out of your book though. "Prove dangerous for my wellbeing in the future" perhaps?
Reply
Clever. But... we shall see how far your cleverness and observation skills take you, won't we, dear boy?
[ He leans in closer, tightening his grip. Never mind if the detective was getting hurt. That was all the idea, now wasn't it? ]
Called your friends, have you...? It would be interesting to see how they get you out of this one.
Curiosity killed the cat.

[He doesn't hear the dial tone anymore, perhaps Philip finally answered or perhaps it just... hung up. Either way, the phone was useless now unless Philip was listening in and he tried his best not to panic.]
I put a lot of trust in my partner, I'm sure he'll find me no matter what you do. Remember that the city may be large but there's very few places to run. We're trapped underwater, after all.
[One last glance towards the phone and he decides that right now, he had to do something. So, here he goes, attempting to rip away from the doctor with a fluid hand movement.]
Reply
Perhaps you should hold that warning for yourself. Certainly... escape is not going to be an option. I intend to hold true to that promise.
[ There's a challenge in those eyes, Shoutarou. That circle's ready just in case you decide to make a run for it. ]
Reply
I might not have any supernatural powers but at least I'll fight like a man. You're only putting more suspicion on you and when my partner comes, you'll pay for your crimes.
[Annndd his eyes dart toward the phone quickly before looking back at Muraki.]
Reply
This'd better be good, partner.
Picking up the phone, Philip pressed the button so it will connect.]
Shoutarou? Make it quick, I'm reading--
Reply
The doctor picks it up himself. ]
Shoutarou's a little... tied up for the moment.
Better hurry.
[ click ]
Now then, Shoutarou, was it...? Where were we?
Reply
You bastard!
[And now he's going straight at Muraki, aiming a fist for his face.]
Reply
Just as he planned. ]
He'll come for you...
